We are a geological wonder “ Like nowhere else on Earth, eastern Washington is a dynamic land of contrasts shaped by colossal, cataclysmic floods, first of hot, searing basaltic lava, followed millions of years later by frigid, massive glacial outbursts.” Bjornstad, Kiver 9. A timber baron named Sam Hill built a castle for his Romanian Princess and it is filled with Rodin sculptures He also constructed a Stonehenge replica with astronomical accuracy 10.

We live near active volcanos Mt. St. Helen’s Eruption May 18, 1980 Declared the “most disastrous volcanic eruption in United States history.” 5. “An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest. The question is when.” “If, on that occasion, only the southern part of the Cascadia subduction zone gives way—the magnitude of the resulting quake will be somewhere between 8.0 and 8.6. That’s the big one. If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full‐margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That’s the very big one.” Schulz, Kathryn. The New Yorker, July 20, 2015 Accessed June 20, 2017 “Perhaps I’ve said too much.” 6. There is a reason they call them Killer Whales Just kidding: Orca, Blackfish • Killer whales are the largest member of the dolphin family and there is no recorded human attack in the wild. • There have been attacks and human deaths in captivity and “experts are divided as to whether the injuries and death were accidental or deliberate attempts to cause harm.” • They can however eat a moose or Great White Shark. • Only in Argentina do they swim on to the beach after prey. Our Orcas eat salmon. 7.
